Go go col, fantastic grab here. Just a pity you couldn't get stephano as well, that would have been killer
By.Sun or By.Rain, he always delivers

Not really too surprising as Naniwa wanted to stay in Korea. complexity being the only team apart from TL with ties to a korean team means this just makes sense for both parties.

Really nice move!

I think it was quite expected, considering the Stephano case as well as Complexity's attempts to cooperate with the Korean scene, that seems to interest Naniwa as well!

Naniwa gonna get into big arguments with Noblesse and Keen about balance. Then DRG just beats them both and shuts them up.

It could be a sitcom!

Seems like a good move for all involved. Nani gets a stable position training in the MVP house and CoL get a very nice addition to the team.

Genius. Not exactly known as the greatest in PvP. Practicing against somebody like EG'HuK, Liquid'HerO or oGsMC would have been more beneficial for him. He may have beaten Inca in a PvP, but so has MC. And for MC, PvP is EZ PZ. To my knowledge, only two people have actually beaten him in a broadcasted PvP match and that is HuK and NaNiwa.

DongRaeGu. Not exactly known for the best ZvP. His ZvT knowledge and general grasp on the matchup on the other hand would be beneficial for a Terran player. ZvP is probably DRG's achilles' heel as well as his ZvZ. Plus if you wanted a Zerg practice partner out of any Zerg in the world, NesTea would have had to be it for ZvP and ZvZ.

Keen and Noblesse aren't exactly known for the best TvP either. Then again, TvP is in a dire state metagame wise in Korea and NaNi will need all the practice he can get against variations of 111 and bio aggression.

They are better than any foreigner anyway. Furthermore, i dont know how that could be worst that go to EG and be alone with Puma and Huk and wihout a zerg.

And there are more good training partners like Monster, Violet, Sniper, Dream, sc, guineapig.

It is a worth it training enviroment. It could be better (oGs, Slayers, IM, etc.) but Naniwa took the right desicion, because he can travel to foreign tournaments with Col/MVP.

Man, you suck. You honestly sitting there whining about Naniwa having to train with some of the absolute best players in the world? Jesus. The only better house Nani could be training in is with IM.

Pretty much exactly what I thought when I saw he was going to coL. IM would probably have been a better choice for his skill to improve as much as possible, but at the same time the reason he chose coL was probably because he got a good salary and he can fly to foreign events while still practicing with decent Koreans.

Who knows, maybe the fact that he was in the MVP house already affected his decision as well, hopefully he is getting along with the players really well which could definitely be a factor.

Complexity loses Stephano, gets a better and more dedicated player in the end anyway!


I quite disagree with this. Stephano has been improving a lot lately, whereas Naniwa seems to be giving up. It takes little to no resistance for Naniwa to be down on himself. Stephano on the other hand is pushing the limits for what zergs can do. (Watch his games vs. MMA )

its quite cute to read everything written here, i really enjoy the support im getting and i listen to the concerns people think there are. MVP is one of the teams that made it to the GSTL playoffs which should prove that they are a team with many good ppl. and especially DRG. It is true that i have been unmotivated a bit which has shown in my results because of protoss insane downfall the last couple of weeks / months. But with a new patch and new possibilitys and especially with many other protoss players here to talk to about the game im sure my motivation will rise through the roof. I am much better now than when i placed high in homestory cup etc, I just need to play alot more and adjust perfectly to their style here to be more consistent and win more games, Also balance affects quite a lot atm i think we can clearly say that protoss is by far the worst race at the moment.
